dSPACE Release 6.2

dSPACE Release 6.2 provides numerous new functions for your development environment, including ones for the following dSPACE tools:

AutomationDesk and Real-Time Testing
The diagnostics library in AutomationDesk 2.1 has been extended to support ECU variants, and diagnostic services can now be parameterized during test execution. Version 1.4 of the integrated Real-Time Testing provides transparent variable access in a multiprocessor system and a replay mechanism with which large MAT files can be used for stimulation.

ASM (Automotive Simulation Models)
From Version 1.6, the Automotive Simulation Models (ASMs) also include Operator versions that are specially optimized for function development. This new model category consists of encapsulated Simulink models and currently supports vehicle dynamics and chassis applications.
For simulating vehicle electrical systems and electric drives, there is a brand-new model library called ASM Electric Components.

SystemDesk
The new release of this system and software architecture tool, Version 1.1, provides compatibility with the interchange formats of AUTOSAR Release 2.1. This version of the AUTOSAR standard contains more precise specifications for developing a standardized electrics/electronics architecture. Another new SystemDesk feature: Requirement descriptions that are written in a requirements management system such as Telelogic DOORS® can be linked with architecture descriptions for traceability throughout the development process. Additional performance enhancements for handling large-scale models round off the functionality of SystemDesk 1.1.

TargetLink
The TargetLink Blockset has been completely redesigned in Version 3.0 of TargetLink, the production code generator. Integration into the Simulink/Stateflow environment has been greatly enhanced, and TargetLink users can now also utilize numerous third-party tools in conjunction with TargetLink models. The performance available for working with TargetLink models has also been given an enormous boost.
TargetLink 3.0 also supports model referencing, which considerably improves distributed development by large teams and the handling of large-scale models. Functionalities can be flexibly partitioned into several model files, versioned separately, and developed on a modular or component basis. Parts of models can be implemented individually and simulated separately by means of incremental code generation.

Hardware-in-the-Loop Systems
Not only the software tools have new functions: dSPACE HIL systems now also have extended functionality.
To support the development of electronics for modern engines with automatic start/stop, rotational direction-dependent crankshaft sensor simulation has been added to the DS2211 HIL I/O Board.
The new DS1450 Bus FIU Board (FIU = failure insertion unit) provides numerous options for manipulating communication buses such as CAN and FlexRay, and also for making changes on the physical level: changing the termination resistances, switching cross short-circuits, short circuits to a specific potential, etc.
